The SAFIRE (Systems Analysis For ICF Reactor Economics) computer code has been developed to facilitate economic analyses of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) reactor concepts. The code is designed for parametric analyses of conceptual designs appearing in the literature, in particular HYLIFE, HIBALL, Cascade, EAGLE, and dry-wall concepts. The objective is to identify power plant parameters and configurations that provide economic advantages, thus guiding future design efforts.
